Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add ears of corn, rotating when sides are charred, about every 5 minutes. Sprinkle each side under the husks with salt and pepper.

Step: 4

Mix melted butter into the chilled cheese mixture. Peel corn husks back without detaching. Use a spoon to coat the corn with the cheese mixture on all sides. Serve with lime wedges.
